In short, our Aspen luxury vacation rentals are privately owned homes minutes from the four mountains, downtown, and the county airport, each prepared to five-star standards and backed by a local team that knows the valley.
The town began as a silver-mining boomtown in 1879, then struck gold in a different way when the ski area opened in 1946 and hosted the World Championships four years later. Victorian storefronts still line the streets, now sharing them with designer boutiques, galleries, and some of the best restaurants in the Rockies. It sits at about 7,900 feet in the Roaring Fork Valley, ringed by the Elk Mountains and the White River National Forest.
Four mountains rise around it, together on one Ikon pass and linked by free shuttles: Ajax, the steep, expert peak with the Silver Queen Gondola climbing straight from downtown; Highlands, with its famous Highland Bowl and a local mountain feel; Buttermilk, gentle, family-friendly, and home to the Winter X Games; and Snowmass, the largest and most versatile, with a village of its own at the base.
Summer may be the secret season. The Food and Wine Classic, the Ideas Festival, and the Music Festival fill the calendar, the Maroon Bells draw travelers to the most photographed peaks in North America, and the trails open to hiking and biking. The Wheeler Opera House and the Art Museum keep the culture going year-round.
Our collection of Aspen luxury vacation rentals runs from a downtown condo you can walk to the gondola from up to a Red Mountain estate with the whole valley below it. In between sit ski-access homes at Snowmass, historic residences in the West End, and retreats near Highlands and Buttermilk. Every home is privately owned, thoughtfully selected, and cared for by our local team, so your stay is seamless from the moment you arrive.
